A civet is a mammal which is somewhat like a weasel, and despite the name, it is not actually a cat at all. Some people eat them, while some keep them as pets. Some coffee growers use them to create a unique blend of coffee. They let them eat Arabica coffee "cherries" and then collect the coffee beans from their excrement. The coffee beans are completely cleaned and then roasted. Aficionados claim that the digestive process of the civet cats removes some of the bitterness and makes the coffee smoother. However, such coffee goes for at least $20 a cup, and critics say it is actually bad coffee and only sells for the novelty value.

What is the scientific name for the civet cat?

The scientific name of the civet cat is dependent upon the genera and species of civet. There are many. Almost all civets are grouped beneath the family Viverridae with the African Palm Civet the lone member of the family Nandiniidae. Civets' genera and species names, however, are multiple. For example, the masked palm civet's binomial name is Paguma larvata while the binomial name of the African civet [not the African palm civet] is Civettictis civetta.If you need the scientific name of a specific species of civet cat, it is easy to look up civets and go from there.

What do you call a large spotted civet?

What do I call it? If it lived in my house and it was actually a cat I would probably--probably--call it Steven. I might call it Schrodinger, maybe. On the other hand, I think what you are looking for is not the name of a cat [and the civet isn't really a cat anyway]. It's the name for the type of civet that is large and spotted. I think the one you want is the African civet, Civettictis civetta. It is not only covered with spots and of a decent size, it's the one to which most people refer--unless, of course, they are thinking about coffee. Then the Asian palm civet is your culprit--but it is of a different look altogether.
